Therefore, if when we have received those men we can still
be free, let us subdue our hatred to them, and endure peace; but if there can be
no tranquillity while those men are in safety, then let us rejoice that an
opportunity of fighting them is put in our power. For so, either (these men
being conquered) we shall enjoy the republic victorious, or, if we be defeated,
(but may Jupiter avert that disaster),
we shall live, if not with an actual breath, at all events in the renown of our
valor.
